"While Protocol definitely had my vote for the game with the most potential, Sabarasa's first reveal of Horizon Riders caught my interest. Although comparisons were being made to Sin & Punishment, I personally didn't see the connection. I was just happy to see a game made with the Balance Board in mind, especially since it feels like it's been a long time since I last used the peripheral. But I think after my experience the game, I can safely say that Horizon Riders is a game that's probably best left observing from a distance." -- Wiiloveit.com
There is no denying that this game shares many similarities with the legendary Sin and Punishment series, however the atmosphere is different and the difficulty is more balanced. The game is an on the rails shooter that is relatively short, but the levels and bosses are very nicely designed and provide players with a reasonable amount of challenge without being too hard!
"Is Wii Fit just not enough for your Wii Balance Board? Did Sin and Punishment lack core muscle training? Horizon Riders has got you covered.
While Horizon Riders was released a while ago on the Wiiware Shop (October 6th, 2011, to be precise), now is actually the perfect time to talk about it. Why? Because the game was patched. That’s right. A Wiiware game was actually patched. Also, the game was finally released in Europe in July, so the timing feels right.", writes 4ColorRebellion.
For those who own Horizon Riders from the WiiWare service, I would like to let you know that an update is now available to download.
